Frank Tyger states that “Doing what you like is freedom.” Making my own…

our lives. Milestones help us to mark our journey along the roads, the way the ancient Romans did. Milestone is more than just being a significant event in our lives. It is, in fact, must be reached several times in order for us to achieve self-actualization.
